Twitter and Fiber
About a month ago I set up a Twitter account with my name on it. My dad uses Twitter , some of my friends use twitter and more than a few of my favorite celebrities hire people to tweet for them. I assumed that Twitter would be a positive addition to my lifestyle. Unfortunately, I [...]
Connecticut College, 1960s and 1970s
The 1960s and 1970s are close to impossible to summarize in a short editorial. The early 1960s maintained the traditions of the decades before, but with a newfound appetite for dissent: singing on the green at each full moon and eating strawberries for breakfast on May Day was paired with demands for later curfews, looser [...]

Connecticut College 1950-1960
The 1950s were the last of five decades in Conn history built on perpetuated traditions. The girls had no locks on their doors; they used the common rooms to drink tea, play cards and smoke cigarettes.

We feel an alliance with all previous writers and editors of [...]

Read her own account of her student teaching experience here. Her second graders wrote the [...]
Airplane.
I don’t care for flying. Short of stopping in the jetway, spread-eagle, like a cat being put into a box, I must admit to at least a few strong reservations.
Rally to Restore Sanity
On the horizon: Jon Stewart’s Rally to Restore Sanity on October 30th. Take a train to SoHo and let Arianna Huffington bus you down for free. Carpool in your friend’s G-Wagon. Go for the day. Worrying you’ll miss the Halloween dance? Don’t. It’s times like these I wonder where all our political groups went. More [...]
